Voices from the 889 Yoga Community
As a business owner, it is a top priority for me to ensure that my employees are consistently re-energizing. Internally, at 889 Yoga, Christine and I have learned to put less of an emphasis on getting more out of employees and more of an emphasis on investing ‘in’ them so they are calm, energized, motivated and productive! With this shift in your company, you too, will feel your team bring more of themselves to work every day.

Often times we need to step back and feel the depth of simplifying our practice.
